Religious Pluralism

The view that more than one religion can be a valid response to ultimate reality.

John Hick argued in An Interpretation of Religion (1989) that the great traditions are different human responses to one Real, each shaped by its culture, and each capable of transforming people from self-centredness to Reality-centredness. Critics object that pluralism imposes its own framework on the religions it means to honour.
